Never flown a Bus, but I'm waiting for that LAX A330 base . Heck, I'll fly a Cessna 152 if it pays more.
I agree, I loved that airplane. Only one problem. I'd go months making perfect landings certain that I was as good as it got in the 727. Then a bone crushing smash on the deck - and I didn't do anything different! Where the hell did that one come from? - I would stupidly ask my FO.
Before ACARS, we had to write down our ON and IN times for the logbook. After one of those hard landings, my FO said: Well - we know what time we touched down...it's when both clocks stopped!
DOHHH!!
